The Rise of a Star: The Patrick Mahomes Story

[bg_collapse view=”button-orange” color=”#4a4949″ expand_text=”Show More” collapse_text=”Show Less” ]

Patrick Mahomes has taken the NFL by storm since entering the league in 2017. In just a few short years, he has established himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the game and led the Kansas City Chiefs to their first Super Bowl victory in 50 years. But Mahomes’ journey to stardom began long before he stepped foot on an NFL field. This is the story of how a small town Texas kid became one of the faces of the NFL.

Early Years and High School Career

Patrick Lavon Mahomes II was born on September 17, 1995 in Tyler, Texas. He grew up in a football family, as his father Pat Mahomes played in the major leagues as a pitcher for 11 seasons. From a young age, Mahomes showed a natural talent and love for football. He would spend hours throwing the ball with his father in their backyard, developing his arm strength and accuracy.

In high school, Mahomes attended Whitehouse High School in Whitehouse, Texas, just outside of Tyler. He immediately made an impact on the football team, starting as the varsity quarterback from his sophomore year. As a junior, Mahomes threw for 3,528 yards and 45 touchdowns, leading his team to a state semifinal appearance. College recruiters took notice of his abilities. His senior season was even more impressive, with Mahomes accounting for 5,200 total yards and 50 touchdowns. He finished his high school career with over 12,000 passing yards and 125 touchdowns.

Recruitment and Commitment to Texas Tech

With his impressive high school stats, Mahomes received scholarship offers from numerous power five programs, including Oklahoma, Texas A&M, and Baylor. However, he ultimately committed to play for Texas Tech under head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Kingsbury’s air raid offense was the perfect scheme for Mahomes’ arm talent and passing abilities. At Texas Tech, Mahomes would have the opportunity to put up big stats in the passing game.

Mahomes officially signed with Texas Tech in February 2014 and enrolled that summer. He joined a Red Raiders program that had a history of producing prolific passers in the air raid offense. Mahomes was expected to compete for the starting job right away as a freshman.

Breakout Freshman Season

As a freshman in 2014, Mahomes beat out two other quarterbacks to win the starting job under center for Texas Tech. In his first career start against Central Arkansas, he threw for 413 yards and 5 touchdowns. Mahomes never looked back, putting on spectacular passing performances week after week in the high-powered Texas Tech offense.

By the end of the season, Mahomes had shattered numerous school and Big 12 records. He threw for 4,653 yards and 36 touchdowns, leading the nation in both categories. Mahomes also rushed for over 300 yards and 6 touchdowns on the ground. His breakout campaign earned him Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year honors. He established himself as one of the top young quarterbacks in the country and put the college football world on notice.

Record-Breaking Junior Season

After a solid sophomore season where he threw for over 4,000 yards again, Mahomes entered his junior year in 2016 with sky-high expectations. He did not disappoint, putting together perhaps the greatest individual season by a quarterback in college football history. Mahomes threw for 5,052 yards and 53 touchdowns against just eight interceptions, leading Texas Tech to an 8-5 record.

His yardage and touchdown totals shattered the FBS single season records that had stood for decades. Mahomes also added over 300 rushing yards and six more scores with his legs. For his transcendent junior campaign, he was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, a unanimous All-American, and finished third in Heisman Trophy voting behind quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson.

Mahomes had cemented his place among the all-time great Texas Tech quarterbacks and positioned himself as a potential first round pick in the upcoming NFL draft. However, he made the decision to return to school for his senior season rather than enter the draft early. Mahomes wanted to earn his college degree and continue improving as a player under Kingsbury’s tutelage.

Senior Season and Draft Projections

Coming off his record-setting junior year, Mahomes entered his senior season as one of the most exciting players in college football. Unfortunately, an injury-plagued Texas Tech team struggled to a 5-7 record in 2017. While Mahomes still threw for over 4,000 yards and 27 touchdowns, his production dipped slightly with a less talented supporting cast around him.

Despite the down year statistically, Mahomes’ NFL draft stock remained sky high due to his unprecedented junior tape. Most draft experts projected him to be selected in the first round, likely within the top 15 picks. His combination of size, arm talent, athleticism, and production in the toughest conference in college football made Mahomes an intriguing prospect for NFL teams transitioning to more wide-open passing attacks.

After graduating from Texas Tech in December 2017 with a degree in general studies, Mahomes made the decision to forgo his final year of college eligibility and enter the 2017 NFL Draft. His goal was to be the first quarterback selected and have the opportunity to start right away as a rookie.

Draft Night Surprise

Heading into the draft on April 27, 2017, most analysts predicted Mahomes would be selected within the top 10 picks. The Chicago Bears at number 3 and New York Jets at number 6 were seen as potential landing spots. However, on draft night, things played out differently than expected for Mahomes.

As the first round unfolded, neither the Bears nor Jets ended up selecting a quarterback. Instead, the first three picks were defensive players – Myles Garrett, Solomon Thomas, and Jamal Adams. At pick number 10, the Buffalo Bills also passed on Mahomes to draft Tre’Davious White.

This is when things got interesting. The Kansas City Chiefs, who held the 27th overall pick, had been rumored to be interested in Mahomes as the future replacement for veteran quarterback Alex Smith. In a surprise move, Kansas City traded their first round pick (27th overall), third round pick, and 2018 first round pick to the Buffalo Bills to move up to the number 10 spot.

With the 10th pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the Chiefs selected Patrick Mahomes II, making him the first quarterback off the board. Mahomes was thrilled to land with Kansas City and begin his NFL career under head coach Andy Reid, known as one of the top offensive minds in the league.

Rookie Season in Kansas City

As a rookie in 2017, Mahomes knew his role would be to learn behind veteran starter Alex Smith. So he spent his first NFL season adjusting to the professional game, learning Reid’s intricate offensive system, and developing chemistry with his new teammates. Mahomes only saw mop-up action in garbage time, completing 33 passes for 284 yards with 0 touchdowns and 1 interception.

Behind the scenes, Mahomes worked tirelessly on improving his mechanics, footwork, and mental processing. He studied film of Smith and how Reid’s offense operated. By all accounts, Mahomes had an excellent rookie campaign in his development. While he didn’t put up big stats, the Chiefs were confident their future franchise quarterback was progressing well in his first year. Kansas City finished with a 10-6 record and made the playoffs in 2017.

Breakout Arrival as Starter

In 2018, Mahomes was given the keys to the Chiefs’ high-powered offense after Smith was traded to Washington in the offseason. From the jump, it was clear Mahomes was ready for the starting role. In his first career start in Week 1 against the Chargers, he threw for 256 yards and 4 touchdowns in a 38-28 victory.

Mahomes never looked back, putting on some of the most incredible passing performances the NFL had ever seen. He threw for over 400 yards four times and had shootout games against future MVPs Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees. By season’s end, Mahomes had shattered franchise records and led the league with 50 touchdown passes against just 12 interceptions.

He completed 66% of his passes for 5,097 yards and also added 272 rushing yards and two more scores with his legs. Mahomes’ eye-popping stats and highlight reel plays made him the runaway winner of NFL MVP honors, becoming the youngest player ever to win the award. He led the Chiefs to the AFC West title with a 12-4 record in his first season as starter.

Super Bowl LIV Championship

In the playoffs, Mahomes continued lighting up scoreboards. He threw for 295 yards and 3 touchdowns in a 31-13 divisional round win over the Colts. The following week, Mahomes led the Chiefs back from a 24-point deficit – the largest comeback in AFC title game history – to defeat the Patriots 37-31 in overtime and reach the Super Bowl.

On football’s biggest stage, Mahomes put on a show against the San Francisco 49ers. He threw for 286 yards and 3 touchdowns as the Chiefs overcame a 10 point fourth quarter deficit to win Super Bowl LIV 31-20. At just 23 years old, Mahomes became the youngest quarterback ever to win Super Bowl MVP honors, cementing his place among the NFL’s elite.

Kim Kardashian credits North West, 10, for taking her sultry vacation pictures in Turks and Caicos

Kim Kardashian revealed her daughter North West, 10, was responsible for snapping her latest travel pictures from their tropical getaway to Turks and Caicos last week.

While sharing a slew of envy-inducing snaps of herself in a plunging gold minidress from their luxurious getaway, the reality star, 43, credited her firstborn, who she shares with ex-husband Kanye West, for capturing the moment.

‘✨[camera emoji] North,’ she captioned her slideshow, shared with her more than 363 million Instagram followers, on Tuesday morning.

The first image showed the SKIMS founder smoldering at the camera as she stood halfway up a spectacular staircase.

The rest were mostly out of focus, and embraced the blurry aesthetic, which has become increasingly popular with Gen Z and Generation Alpha.

For the impromptu pH๏τo shoot, Kardashian looked radiant and sun-kissed as she strutted down the stairs with her arms in the air, before making her way toward the pool, barefoot.

The mother-of-four, who was traveling with sisters Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian  as well as their younger half-sibling Kylie Jenner, wore her dark brown locks in a slicked back updo.

Earlier this week, Kim uploaded an adorable series of her eldest playing dress up as she accessorized her bright red Chicago Bulls t-shirt with plenty of diamonds, a faux lip piercing and a nose ring.

In addition to practicing her pH๏τography skills, the preteen, who has previously revealed she wants to be an athlete, rapper, and artist when she grows up, spent her time in Turks and Caicos with her cousins.

On Monday, Kim shared pH๏τos of her giving cousin True Thompson, six, a piggyback ride.

Others images, taken by her mom, showed her cousins True Thompson, six, Tatum Thompson, one, Penelope Disick, 11, and siblings Chicago, six, and Saint, eight, at the beach and going on family boat rides.

The families have all since returned to California following their epic spring break adventure.

.

Over the weekend, Kim showed her support for son Saint, eight, at his basketball game.

The socialite, who recently called it quits with Odell Beckham Jr., revealed her ‘baby got the game winning sH๏τ at the buzzer.’

Kardashian shares Saint and North, as well as her younger daughter Chicago, six, and son Psalm, four, with her former husband, Kanye West.

The former couple went on to welcome Saint, Chicago and Psalm in 2015, 2018 and 2019, respectively, and the latter two were born with the ᴀssistance of a surrogate.

Kardashian ultimately filed for divorce in 2021, and their marriage was formally dissolved the following November.

.

The designer spoke about parenting during an episode of the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast and was brutally honest about how being a mother was not always an easy task.

She referred to parenting as the ‘most challenging thing. There are nights I cry myself to sleep. Like, holy s***, this f***ing tornado in my house. Like, what just happened?’

However, she did admit that she was happy to have been able to become a mother.

‘There’s just nothing that can prepare you for this experience. It is the most challenging, rewarding job on this planet,’ she said.

Kim Kardashian slips her bombshell curves into a white leather gown

Kim Kardashian was every inch the bombshell while attending the star-studded 10th Breakthrough Prize ceremony in Los Angeles on Saturday.

The reality TV star, 43, slipped her famous hourglᴀss curves into a white halter neck leather gown that clung to her figure.

The sizzling design featured cut-outs on the sides and highlighted the newly-single star’s ample cleavage.

Kim — whose aunt Karen Houghton’s cause of death was just revealed — added a sultry touch to the outfit by rocking her waist-long raved tresses in a wet look.

The 10th Breakthrough Prize ceremony celebrates groundbreaking achievements in science and mathematics.

The SKIMS mogul added height to her 5′ 2″ frame with clear platform heels.

As for glam Kim opted for a smokey eyeshadow, dramatic lashes, a touch of pink blush on her cheeks, and red gloss on her pout.

Kim was joined by mom Kris Jenner, 68, who looked chic in an all-black outfit.

The Kardashian matriarch’s look consisted of a black blazer worn over a semi see-through black gown.

The event brought a number of famous faces together, including Margot Robbie, Jessica Chastain, Olivia Wilde and Brie Larson.

Thrown at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles, the glittering event is held in honor of those who have made accomplishments in math and science, with each awardee getting $3 million, according to a press release.

But in spite of its focus outside of showbiz, the swank gala reliably draws a cavalcade of A-list celebrities to troupe across the red carpet and hand out the prizes.

The day prior Kim showed up to her son Saint’s basketball game in Los Angeles in an all black Balenciaga look.

She was joined by ex-husband Kanye West, 46. The exes arrived separately as they put on a united display for their eight-year-old second-born child.

They are also parents to daughters North, 10, Chicago, six, and son Psalm, four.

Kanye, who moved on from Kim with wife Bianca Censori, 28, kept a low profile as he arrived in gray sweats.

Kim filed for divorce from Kanye in February 2021, after nearly a decade together. Their divorce was finalized in November 2022.

Kim is back in the City of Angels after taking a much-needed vacation in the Turks and Caicos with her family.

The star took a breather from her businesses like SKIMS and SKKN to spend some quality down time with her loved ones on a pristine white sand beach.

Kim has been spending time in the tropical location not only with her children, but also with her sisters Khloe and Kylie.

The ladies have used the opportunity on the shore to take some striking swimsuit pH๏τos to help push their brands.

Kim enjoyed the getaway while newly single. The star and Odell Beckham Jr. have reportedly split up last month, DailyMail.com exclusively reported.

The reality TV beauty and the America Football player enjoyed a six-month romance but are said to have now called time on the relationship.

A source told DailyMail.com: ‘They’re not seeing each other anymore right now.’

The split will come as a surprise as Odell, 31, who is currently a free agent, was reportedly set on a move to the Kansas City Chiefs in order to be closer to Kim, who is based in Los Angeles.

Talk about a mother’s love that knows no bounds! When supporting her superstar son Patrick Mahomes, the unstoppable Randi Mahomes is always the MVP. And on April 25th, this matriarch extraordinaire stepped into the spotlight with the acknowledgment of the same through the ‘Special Experience’ that’s got Texas buzzing.

Randi shared that she touched down in San Antonio, Texas for the big event that celebrates her role as the QB’s mother. She then shared a flyer of the event to be conducted by Whatamom – a heartfelt initiative dedicated to celebrating and uplifting mothers from all walks of life. Randi is going to be hosted at this one-of-a-kind gathering at the Silver Horn Golf Club. “Honored and excited to be at the official whatamom at tomorrow’s event,” Randi gushed in the story’s caption.

Randi Mahomes herself is familiar with hosting such types of events and turning them into success with her planning s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s. “This job for me isn’t just about coordinating events—it’s about independence, resilience, and setting an example of hard work and discipline for my kids,” Randi shared about her event planning career with Holly Tree Country Club in an Instagram post some time back.

The mother of three is always in the buzz fueled by her journey as a single mom raising NFL royalty like Patrick Mahomes against all odds. “It’s about independence, & setting an example of hard work & discipline for my kids,” she wrote recently on X. But the ‘Special Experience’ shows more than just Randi being appreciated

Randi carries forward her late mother Debbie’s enduring spirit of strength, sacrifice, and unwavering devotion to family. In her own words, Randi honors her “Guardian Angel” mom, which guides her to do well in several aspects of her life.

Randi Mahomes unveils ‘Play Together’- a heartfelt ode to family and friendship

Randi is celebrating of her latest creative endeavor, the 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren’s book ‘Play Together’. Collaborating with her best friend Teresa Jane and the folks at Siphre Books, she is serving up a heartwarming tale that scores big on family values. She shared a story today announcing, “Tomorrow our book is out.”

“Play Together” isn’t your average kiddie lit. This vibrant storybook is a collection for the power of friendship, unity, and good 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥hood shenanigans. Through attention-grabbing illustrations and a narrative that’ll have you grinning from ear to ear, Randi’s reminding us all that the greatest games are best played together.

Because amidst all her accolades, Randi did not forget to pay tribute to her mom Debbie, captioning the an Instagram announcement post  “I am so proud of this! Dedicating to my momma. She would be proud #blessed.” 

So as Randi steps into the limelight with her ‘Special Experience’, she’s not just launching brands or writing books. She’s etching her unique story into the annals of motherhood, friendship, and a legacy that’ll resonate for a long period of time.

Kim Kardashian shows off figure in a skintight white dress as she steps out

She’s getting ready for another showstopping appearance at Monday’s Met Gala.

But Kim Kardashian wasn’t waiting to steal the spotlight as she commanded attention in a skintight white dress for a casual outing in Malibu on Friday.

The star flaunted her famous curves as she was joined by her equally curvaceous sister Khloe while eldest sister Kourtney’s ex Scott Disick joined in on the fun.

Daring to impress, Kim turned heads in the form fitting number as she added a magnificent gold medallion necklace and matching bangle.

Her trademark raven tresses were pinned back in a top knot as the loose tendrils cascaded over her shoulders.

Khloe slipped her svelte physique in to a khaki maxidress and paired the enchanting look with a set of snakeskin boots.

Scott proved on trend as he cut a casual figure in a royal blue shirt and faded denim while keeping a low-profile in retro shades.

What if Patrick Mahomes Wasn’t in the NFL? Exploring His Other Career Options

[bg_collapse view=”button-orange” color=”#4a4949″ expand_text=”Show More” collapse_text=”Show Less” ]

Patrick Mahomes has taken the NFL by storm since becoming the starting quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2017. In just a few short years, he has established himself as one of the best and most exciting players in the league. At only 26 years old, Mahomes is already a Super Bowl champion and has multiple MVP awards to his name. He seems destined for greatness and a likely future Hall of Famer.

But what if Mahomes had chosen a different path than the NFL? What other careers might he have pursued with his unique skills and interests? Let’s explore some potential alternative career options for the superstar quarterback if he wasn’t dominating on the football field.

Baseball Player
In high school, Mahomes was actually considered a better baseball prospect than a football player. The multi-sport athlete lettered in both baseball and football at Whitehouse High School in Texas. As a pitcher and outfielder for the baseball team, Mahomes showcased elite arm talent and athleticism.

Impressively, Mahomes was selected in the 37th round of the 2014 MLB draft by the Detroit Tigers right out of high school. While most players taken that late don’t make the majors, Mahomes’ raw abilities as an athlete led scouts to take a chance on his potential. Had he fully committed to baseball after high school instead of choosing a football career at Texas Tech, Mahomes likely would have spent several years in the minor leagues developing his skills.

With his work ethic and dedication to improvement, there’s a good chance Mahomes could have made it to the big leagues as a pitcher or outfielder. His strong and accurate arm would have translated well to throwing heat from the mound. In the outfield, Mahomes’ athleticism and hand-eye coordination would have served him well tracking down fly balls. Like in football, his competitive fire and ability to perform under pressure are traits that often separate MLB stars from average players.

While baseball requires a different skill set than football, Mahomes’ physical gifts and mental makeup suggest he could have enjoyed success as a professional baseball player if that’s the path he had chosen instead. Scouts were intrigued by his raw talents on the diamond, so with focused development, Mahomes may very well have found stardom in America’s pastime.

Sports Analyst
Even if Mahomes hadn’t pursued a playing career in either football or baseball, his knowledge of and passion for sports would have likely led him to remain involved in the industry in some capacity. With his charismatic personality and ability to break down X’s and O’s, a career in sports media and broadcasting seems like a natural fit.

Mahomes has proven himself to be one of the smartest quarterbacks in the NFL based on his pre-snap reads and adjustments. He sees the field in a way that few others can and understands all the intricacies of offensive and defensive schemes. That type of football IQ and analytical mind would serve him very well as a sports analyst on TV or radio.

Paired with his charisma and communication skills, Mahomes looks like he was born to be in front of a camera. He’s shown a knack for explaining the game in a way that even casual fans can understand. As an analyst, he would excel at breaking down plays in a digestible manner while also providing entertaining commentary.

Mahomes’ knowledge, on-air presence, and celebrity status would have undoubtedly landed him a prime analyst role with a major network like ESPN, Fox Sports, or NBC Sports. Fans would tune in just to hear his perspective, much like they do now with stars like Tony Romo or Troy Aikman in the booth. While being an analyst isn’t quite as glamorous as starring in America’s biggest sporting event, it’s a career path that would have allowed Mahomes to remain heavily involved in the game he loves.

Entrepreneur
Even from a young age, Mahomes has displayed an entrepreneurial spirit and business acumen beyond his years. While still in college at Texas Tech, he launched his own clothing line called “Mahomies.” More recently, he’s invested in a variety of companies across different industries like property development, fitness, and more.

If football hadn’t panned out, Mahomes likely would have pursued entrepreneurship full-time. He seems to have the right mindset, work ethic, and growing network to succeed in business. Mahomes is constantly looking for new opportunities, has an eye for emerging trends, and isn’t afraid to take risks. Those are all valuable traits for an entrepreneur.

Some potential business ventures Mahomes could have founded or invested in include:
– Sports performance training company to help athletes reach their potential
– Technology startup focused on sports, gaming, or another passion area
– Restaurant group, building on his love of food
– Real estate development, an industry he’s already getting involved in
– Sports/lifestyle apparel brand to capitalize on his celebrity

With his star power, work ethic, and growing business acumen, Mahomes has the makings of a very successful entrepreneur if he had chosen to fully commit to that path instead of professional football. His passion, intelligence, and charisma would serve him extremely well in the business world.

STEM Field
While football and business seem to come most naturally to Mahomes, he has also expressed interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. In interviews, Mahomes has discussed his fascination with aerospace engineering and how planes and helicopters work. He clearly has an analytical, inquisitive mind.

If football hadn’t panned out, Mahomes could have explored STEM career options with his combination of athleticism, intellect, and work ethic. Some potential paths may have included:

– Aerospace Engineering: Design and testing of aircraft, as he’s discussed being interested in. His analytical mind would be an asset.

– Biomedical Engineering: Applying engineering principles to medicine. Could leverage his knowledge of the human body from sports.

– Computer Science/Software Engineering: With his interest in gaming and tech, careers in coding may have appealed.

– Data Analytics: His ability to process information quickly could lend itself well to analyzing large data sets.

– Physics Research: Applying scientific method to discover new principles. Intellectually stimulating for his curious nature.

While STEM careers require lengthy education, Mahomes’ intelligence and determination suggest he could have succeeded with the right mentorship and resources. His diverse interests and adaptability would have served him well across various technical fields.

The Final Play
While we can only speculate, it’s clear Mahomes possesses the rare combination of physical gifts, work ethic, charisma, and business acumen to succeed in a variety of fields beyond just football. He’s proven himself as not just an elite athlete but also an intelligent, driven young man.

In the end, Mahomes made the right choice for his prodigious talents by committing to football. But if injury or other factors had pushed him down a different path, it’s hard to imagine he wouldn’t find similar success through his other passions of baseball, business, media, or STEM. No matter the venue, Mahomes was built to be a star and will undoubtedly leave his mark on any industry he chooses to fully commit to.

For now, we football fans are lucky to have front row seats watching Mahomes’ Hall of Fame career continue unfolding on Sundays in the NFL. But it’s fun to imagine the other roads he could have traveled and heights he may have reached if not under center for the Kansas City Chiefs. His extraordinary abilities, work ethic and character suggest greatness would have found Mahomes one way or another.

Kim Kardashian’s Curves Take Center Stage as She Shows Off in a Skimpy Blue Bikini on the Beach

KIM Kardashian has once again turned heads as she hit the beach in a tiny blue bikini that barely covered her famous curves.

The 42-year-old gave her fans a “reminder” of her stunning figure as she took a dip in the ocean.

Kim looked carefree as she stood pouting in the surf with her arms raised in the air in the new Instagram snaps.

Tanned and toned, Kim ran her fingers through her raven hair before walking towards the camera with a big smile on her face.

“Just a reminder,” the Hulu star captioned the post, as some followers thought Kim was referring to the famous Keeping Up With the Kardashian scene where she loses her earring in the ocean.

Fans lapped it up, with one writing: “Shining bright like a diamond Kim.”

Others called her “stunning” and a “queen.”

The sizzling snaps come hot on the heels of reports that Kim is jealous of ex-husband Kanye West’s new wife Bianca Censori.

Bianca and Kim’s eldest child North West, 10, have seemingly built a close relationship.

They were seen holding hands together recently at Kanye’s 46th birthday bash as well as on a trip to Japan.

While North is clearly a fan of her new stepmom, a source has told Star Magazine that Kim Kardashian is not.

“It gets under Kim’s skin,” they revealed.

Separations are never easy, especially when kids are involved.

JEALOUS KIM?
According to Natalie Costa, 40, a children’s confidence and parent coach and the founder of the London-based organization Power Thoughts, the feelings of jealousy that Kim is experiencing are very common among separated parents.

“Whilst you naturally want your child to be happy, be safe, and to get along with their new stepparents, it is also normal if feelings of jealousy arise,” Natalie told The U.S. Sun.

“Jealousy comes from a space of fear and worry that something will be taken away from us. It comes from a protective space – wanting to protect what’s important to you,” she added.

Kim has previously opened up about her struggles co-parenting with Kanye, calling it “f**king hard.”

A source close to the Skims founder revealed that the rapper’s marriage to Australian model Bianca has thrown “another wrench” in the works.

An insider has previously pointed out that: “This woman [Bianca] has done stuff to look like Kim,” which could explain Kim’s worry and jealousy of Bianca getting close to North.

“Feeling the jealousy is not a bad thing,” said Natalie.

“What is important, is how we respond in these situations, versus getting carried away by our feelings.”

NO PRESSURE
According to Natalie, this means that mom-of-four Kim needs to keep her feelings to herself and not project them onto North, or her three other children with Kayne: Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.

“We don’t want to be putting our children in the middle of how we are feeling about the situation.

“This can lead to feelings of guilt or anxiety within our children if they feel that they can’t enjoy the company of their stepparent,” she warned.

“We need to allow these feelings within ourselves and have the support to work through them, but without extending this to our children.”

Next month, Patrick and Brittany Mahomes will be celebrating their two-year anniversary of making their relationship official.

In just a few short days after the elation that was brought on by Super Bowl LVIII, the Mahomes family is once again celebrating.

Over the weekend, Patrick, a quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, celebrated his daughter Sterling Skye’s birthday by throwing her a delightful butterfly tea party.

After leading the Kansas City Chiefs to a victory over the San Francisco 49ers to the tune of 25-22 in overtime on February 11, Mahomes was awarded his third Super Bowl ring.

In March of 2022, the 28-year-old guy tied the knot with his high school girlfriend Brittany, and the couple now had two children together.

The pair went all out for their daughter’s birthday celebration on February 20, which is Sterling’s third birthday this year.

For a tea party with Sterling’s many pals, the family traveled to the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, which is located in the state of Texas.

Children who are donning butterfly wings can be seen having a good time on slides and an inflatable bounce house in a video that was uploaded to Instagram by Brittany.

Sterling, who was beaming, sipped from a teacup as she was accompanied by her younger brother Bronze, who was just one year old, for the exciting day out.

In addition to the video, Brittany commented, “Today, we celebrated our Sterling Skye!”

It’s hard for me to think that in just a few days, we will have a child that is three years old!

Once you start having fun, time seems to fly by! We are in love with you, girl.

The adorable video received over 160,000 likes, and fans left comments on it almost immediately after it was uploaded.

Within the context of the interview with Pat McAfee, Patrick Mahomes asserts that “it was a bad angle” and threatens to show “dad bod” once more.

It would appear that she had the most wonderful birthday ever! One person wrote, “Happy third birthday!”

The greetings of New Orleans on your birthday. Another person said that the children are adorable.

“Ster, you are very sweet! A third person remarked, “It is so simple to celebrate her.”

During his third Super Bowl MVP performance, Mahomes threw for 333 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. He also secured the award.

During Brittany’s memorial service for her husband of almost two years, which took place last week in Las Vegas, his entire family was present to pay their respects to him.

According to what she wrote, “He is a true leader and a team player.”

He never stopped asking himself what he could do differently to improve his chances of leading this club to the Super Bowl.

I will always be in awe of you as a person and as a football player since I was able to witness so much things that took place behind the scenes!

You, my friend, are deserving of this!!! You have my undying love, and I will always and forever be proud of you.
